does a mid-length barrel (handgaurds) have a 20" barrel gas tube? seems like i read that somewhere. and the full length tubes were suppose to be more reliable than say a m4 system? maybe i'm thinking of something else (dissipator). i have a 14.5" bushmaster now and was thinking of getting a rra or stag mid-length. any pro's to this? Thanks Tim |
No, it's in between the rifle and carbine length gas tube, hence the name  .They are cool, and have a slightly softer recoil pulse than a carbine gas system and longer sight radius too. People argue about the reliability, but no one can prove anything, Get one if you want one - therei s a huge thread of pics somewhere... |
Actually, the Dissipator is a carbine length gas system. www.bushmaster.com/shopping/barrel-assemblies/abbl-16dm4a.asp |
No kidding..... Were they always like that? -K |
+1  i thought that the dissy was origionally a rifle lenght system on a carbine lenght bbl.... anyways, i like the midlength--full look, carbine bbl, longer sight radius--looks great and if it really does have wear out the parts less, well so much the better
